Solution cin19 Apr 16, 2015 From what I read, the PSU inside the Dell Precision 490 is the 750W, and it will power up the r9 270x, but the problem is that the 270x need 2x 6-pin pcie power cables. And I don't think that PSU has that cables, also the PSU may not have enough sata od molex cable for the adapters( http://www.computerliquidators.ca/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/i/t/item-729.png ) too.
